S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 9. 1953 Pennies Build Roads In the essay that won the top award in the recent General Motors Better Highways awards contest, Robert Moses estimated that it would take $50,000,000,000 expend ed over a period of ten years to give America an adequate road system. This is an immense figure when applied to dollars despite the looseness with which “billions” is Committee Acts Fearlessly After a hard fight Administra tion leaders scored a victory in their fight to force a vote in the House of Representatives on con tinuation of the excess profits tax as the Rules committee voted to bring a modified extension bill to the floor. The extraordinary ac tion had the effect of by-passing the Ways and Means committee, where President Eisenhower’s re thrown about these days by g° v *;q Ues t for a six-months extension of jernment. How much is $50,000,000,000? Charlotte, N. C.—Textured yarns made either of cotton or synthetics, 1 ! are just around the corner, so to speak, and are creating much in terest in the trade. The making of these so-called “textured” yams is an entirely new pinciple, devel oped by the DuPont Company, by which normal yarns can be con verted into quite unusual yarns | with striking surface effects. The DuPont Company, it is re- | i vealed, intended waiting until this whole thing could be put in a pack age and tied with a pink ribbon, but interest has been mounting i to the point where rumor was out- | stripping fact, and it was decided ' to present the evaluations to date on the "textured yarn” process, even though the process still re- | ; quires some development. However, enough has been re vealed to show that the new pro cess is an important milestone in man’s long search for better tex tiles. DuPont feels that the use of this development is something for the textile industry rather than itself and when perfected it is to be made available to the trade un der a license arrangement Some details of the new progress which will permit an endless varia-j tion in both knitted and woven! fabrics, were presented by a Du Pont official before a special meet ing of the American Association of Textile Technologists. He describ ed the development as returning the art of fabric design to the in dividual textile mills and produc ing yarns which are distinctly dif ferent from either sun or filament yarns Dr. Donald F.

Long ago this street should have been improved for the con venience of the traveling public since it will provide the elimina tion of at least two railroad cross ings in the interest of safety.
